0.84: Dropping file on tab bar - 'Copy' tooltip misleading

by vertigo (Posted Tue Feb 21, 2017 1:26 am)
XnView: MP 0.84 x64
OS: Windows 7 - 64 bit

When dragging a file onto XnViewer and hovering the mouse over the tab bar, the tooltip reads 'Copy' despite the fact the action if dropped there is to open the file in a tab

Effect: Causes confusion about what the action will do (I almost submitted a feature request asking for a way to open a blank viewer tab to allow dragging and dropping a file into it because it appeared doing so into the browser tab would just copy the file to the current directory, when in fact that's only the case when dropping it into the actual folder)

To reproduce:
1. Open browser
2. Select a file from outside XnView and drag it over the tab bar, where the tooltip will say 'Copy'
3. Drop the file there to open it in a new tab

Actual behaviour (bug): The file will be opened in a new tab (desired behavior), but the tooltip indicates that this is NOT what will happen

Expected behaviour: The tooltip should indicate what will actually happen when dropping a file onto the tab bar ("Open file in new tab")
